WATER -SPOUT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,949, dated December 30, 1884.

Application filed February 13, IP84. (X0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD A. HILDE- BRANDT,Of the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in \Vater-Spouts, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has reference to Water-spouts; and it consists in certain improvements, fully set forth in the following specification, and shown in the accompanying drawings, which form part thereof.

The object of my invention is to so form a Water-spout and provide it with ornamentation-work, whereby it shall be made both rig id in construction and ornamental in appearance.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of a water-spout embodying my invention, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section of same on line so A is the spout proper, which is made rectangular in crosssection, and its two outer edges are formed into longitudinal square beads B B, and its inner edges with beads C C. These beads B and 0 form longitudinal depressions D. A pipe in this shape is not very rigid, and but slightly ornamental. To

improve it in both of these respects, I fill the spacesD on its front (and, if desired, on the sides also) with diamond ornamentation E, formed of sheet metal bent into U-shaped strips, and preferably made flush with the l outer surface of the beads B. This forms a girder of the spout, and renders it rigid against longitudinal and lateral strains, and at the same time greatly improves its appearance. It may be all painted one color, or the depressed parts D may be colored dark and the ornamental ribs E light. If desired, the ribbed work E may be varied in design, and the pipe A made rectangular, with the beads B soldered on afterward.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A water-spout formed of a rectangular tube, A, having depressions D filled with ornamental brace-work, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. A water-spout formed of a rectangular tube, A, having beads B B, forming between them the depressions D, which are filled with ornamental brace-work, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. A Water-spout formed of a rectangular tube, A, having depression D filled with ornamental brace-work made diamond shape, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.

EDWARD A. HILDEBBANDT.
